any source on that?

he played fullback for juniors kangaroos. pushing some crappy player called james tedesco on the wing

he may have played centre before that though i wouldnt know

I thought Nofo was a fullback and then got replaced by Teddy when he came into 20's. Nofo then pushed to centre/wing?

Noffa was a fullback and got pushed into the centres well before they got to 20s. He actually started ahead of Teddy in juniors for fullback but Teddy won the jersey over him eventually. He started playing mostly wing once he got to 20s but started in centre at 20s too. He played in the centres almost always and barely ever wing when Tedesco was the fullback for Maggies Rep Juniors. He did rep Aus Schoolboys as a winger though. That being said he's got experience playing centre and I'm sure he or Naiqama there are better options than Lawrence.

I can't fault Kev but Nofoaluma is too good to keep in reggies at all and Lawrence is the one in the back 5 I'd be moving out. I think Lawrence could prove himself a competent enough backrower in time.

Lawrence is NOT a back rower.

Why would you weaken the back row?

Why would you move him when he played ok.
Noffa is not a centre either. If he can't hold off Kev - then drop him!

Lawrence is fast becoming the elephant in the room.

Lawrence IS the elephant in the room. As soon as CL refused point blank t challenge for a bomb in the first half it was odds on the drag queens were going to target him in the second half. Thank god naqama saved his are all of the second half.
JT .... We dont need lawrence any more, its all over red rover Chris !

Hard to argue. Lawrence is not playing poorly, but his footwork is non-existent and if we're serious about scoring points, Nofo and Naiqama are well ahead of Rowdy, and they can both tackle too. JT will have a tough choice to make once Nofo regains match fitness.

Please don't think i'm putting Lawrence down at all , but to me it's a no brainer.
Lawrence will have to stay in the centres till Nofo gets some sort of confidence and Lawrence to the backrow.
I thought Lawrence had a good game Tonight , nothing special but did his job.

It depends who you talk to on this Forum, if you are Optimistic? it's because your delusional and need a reality check. If you are Pessimistic? Your accused of being a negative Nancy and to go and follow another Club.

i thought naiqama was awesome! i think the thing i am most impressed with is his defence and ability to tackle consecutive plays.
i dont really see him being a concern under the bomb tbh. i thought he did as well as anyone could have. as for the pass in the in-goal: was it actually even forward? maybe im seeing it through rose coloured glasses, but i didnt think it looked forward.
